10.5 Towards Circular Economy in Organisations and Consumption
Keywords:
Circular Economy, Consumption Practices, Organizational Practices, WasteAbstract
The circular economy (CE) is an emerging solution for businesses to balance economic growth with the need to sustain biological and social systems for future generations. Research on CE is interdisciplinary and invites researchers from business fields to create new knowledge on the transition toward more sustainable forms of production and consumption. Extant CE research is heavily focused on technologies, processes and optimisation of resource loops.There is less research on organisational and consumption practices related to this transition. This track includes papers focusing on the implementation of CE in the everyday life of organisations and consumers.
